Increased quality and easier prioritization for Svealandstrafiken

Svealandstrafiken needed a new, modern, and user-friendly system to communicate what should be inventoried when the work should be carried out and assign work and stops to different contractors.

Svealandstrafiken continuously inventories its stops to know which ones meet the equipment requirements and need improvement. Ninetech (formerly Aspire) was commissioned to develop a system completely adapted for Svealandstrafiken. This has contributed to the increased quality of the information collected about the stops, making it easier to prioritize which interventions should be implemented for which stops.

“We need to know where we are not meeting the requirements and at which stops we need to invest to meet those requirements. Now, we can easily prepare a basis for investments and prioritize the work on upgrading and maintaining stops.“ Tommy Smedberg, IT manager at Svealandstrafiken

Simple interface and mobile application

The solution became an administration interface where traffic planners could easily create inventory assignments for affected stops. The tasks are then assigned to specific contractors and approved when completed—all in the same interface.

Ninetech also developed a mobile tablet application through which contractors receive assignments and instructions. There, they get a clear overview of which stops they should visit and which checkpoints they should inventory.

The mobile application contains functionality for registering existing or missing equipment, taking photographs, and updating the stop coordinates. It can also be used offline, and inventory data is sent automatically when the connection is restored. The PowerBI system clearly visualizes and follows up on collected data.

Efficiency and quality at several levels

Svealandstrafiken has noted increased quality of collected information about bus stops and can quickly prioritize which interventions should be carried out for which bus stops. Traffic planners save time when they can assign tasks directly in the system and receive feedback when tasks are completed.

Contractors’ work has been simplified and made significantly more efficient, as they can easily plan and prioritize received tasks. Svealandstrafiken now has a modern and user-friendly tool for collecting bus stop data and a clear visualization of the collected data.
